Crypto for Tiny Objects

This work presents the first known implementation of elliptic curve cryptography for sensor networks, motivated by those networks’ need for an efficient, secure mechanism for shared cryptographic keys’ distribution and redistribution among nodes. Through instrumentation of UC Berkeley’s TinyOS, this work demonstrates that secret-key cryptography is already viable on the MICA2 mote. Through anal...

Human Populations: Houses for Spouses

Patterns of genetic variability in human populations are profoundly influenced by social organisation, including lifestyle, language, religion and social status. A nice illustration is seen among societies that have specific rules about who can marry whom.

Green houses.

We designed a web server for the analysis of biosynthetic capacities of metabolic networks. The implementation is based on the network expansion algorithm and the concept of scopes. For a given network and predefined external resources, called the seed metabolites, the scope is defined as the set of products which the network is in principle able to produce. Through the web interface the user c...

Tiny dancers

A vital step in growth factor-driven angiogenesis is the coordinated engagement of endothelial integrins with the extracellular matrix. The molecular mechanisms that partner growth factors and integrins are being elucidated, revealing an intricate interaction of surface receptors and their signaling pathways.
